Legends of Speed
They are go-getters and tacticians, who are sensitive and ruthless. This best describes the characters of the men and women who constantly live life at its limits, knowing that every competition could be their very last one.
With very personal interviews Legends of Speed not only describes the dramatic happenings on the race tracks, but also puts a spotlight on the fears and the courage of the drivers and their relatives. Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, Jackie Steward or Alain Prost: all of them deal differently with this extreme sport “Formula One”. But they all have one thing in common: the will to win, to be faster than the rest - at nearly any cost.
Legends of Speed is not just a chronology about happenings in racing, but a profound view on the humans behind the wheel - their peculiarities, their private engagements and the love of their wives, who often have to watch their husbands risked their lives.
The series also describes the skilled performances of the engineers and also their failures. The three episodes show how slight the difference between victory and defeat can be. Sometimes it is just a few centimeters or a little bit of luck.
